YOUNGSTERS are being invited to Erith Riverside Shopping Centre to meet SpongeBob SquarePants.
The much-loved children’s cartoon character will be meeting and greeting people at intervals from 11am to 4pm on August 25.
A free face painter will be on hand to turn all the little shoppers into their favourite characters from the TV show.
As well as providing entertainment, SpongeBob is also an educational character who is very keen on saving the environment and encourages children to help save water.
Centre manager Barry Owen said: "We are thrilled to have SpongeBob SquarePants visit the centre.
"Erith Riverside has a great family environment and it is important to us to make shopping a fun experience for children as well as adults."
